Chapter 87
Above the East China Sea, on the vast sea, Yisou Empire's expired wooden sail warships were constantly exploring south along the coastline. Inside the captain's room, Li Yong looked at Wu San who was commanding the ship and said in confusion: "San brother, is it really okay for us to follow this coastline like this? Are the others heading east?"
Wu San smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'm right. Xiangdong said that they were all the imperial army, and they were basically occupied by General Han Xin, but there was not yet in the South China Sea. The empire will definitely extend to the South China Sea in the future. Now this place is basically a wasteland. We are here to rob, and there is still soup to drink in the East China Sea?"
Li Yong worried, "But this is too dangerous. After all, there is no military protection here. Once something happens, we, more than a hundred people, have to explain it here."
Wu San threw out the revolver he exchanged for and smiled confidently: "If I had thought so before, but now we have this, it would be different. With this thing, as long as we don't commit suicide and provoke those big forces or cultivators, we are invincible among ordinary people like us, and we are not afraid even if we encounter a large tribe."
Wu San was very satisfied with the revolver in his hand. Wu San is a famous hunter in their hometown. His hunting skills are very powerful. In fact, Wu San’s favorite is sniper rifle, but that thing is too expensive and cannot be afforded. Revolver is relatively cheap. Basically, you can get one with ten silver coins. However, the cheapest sniper rifle costs ten gold coins, and tens of thousands of expensive ones. This is the price sold on the black market. The price sold by the empire is 20% higher. However, the empire is guaranteed and can be repaired if it is broken. The black market does not have this treatment.
Li Yong was still a little worried. He wanted to take risks, but this was too risky. Wu San saw his concern and smiled: "It's okay, Yongzi, I believe me, I will definitely get unexpected gains this time. And just record this navigation route map and hand it over to the empire, we can make a fortune. This is our biggest goal this time, and it doesn't matter whether we can catch slaves or not."
Li Yong felt relieved when he heard this, and then he wondered: "Is the navigation line map valuable?"
Wu San smiled and said, "Don't you understand this? The Empire offers high prices. As long as you can receive a priced navigation chart, the Empire will not be stingy. Seeing that the slave does not have it, he can draw pictures. It is a high-end slave. I spent ten gold coins to buy it just to record our routes and maps."
Li Yong looked at the young man in his twenties who Wu San bought. He was not tall and had no strength. When Li Yong bought him before, he thought Wu San had lost money, but now it is different. This is simply the God of Wealth.
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Li Yong walked over to see the slave writing on his real notebook, and there was a chart below. He couldn't understand it, but he knew that as long as he handed it over to the empire, they would get a large bonus.
Li Yong came to Wu San and said excitedly: "Brother San, you still have a solution. This time we will make sure to make a profit. Hahaha..."
Wu San was also very happy, and then said seriously: "Yongzi, I want to discuss something with you."
Li Yong replied: "What do you think, why are you brothers? Don't be so polite."
Wu Sandao: "If I can make enough money this time, I am going to invest all the gains in this harvest. If I don't plan to share the money, we must grow stronger and buy a boat. We need more manpower. In addition, the gun must be replaced. Although the revolver is good, its range is too short and we must be replaced with a rifle."
Li Yong was silent for a while and smiled, "This is a good thing, brother, you are right, I support it, I also have ideas. I want to build a slave market, and we sell slaves ourselves."
Wu San frowned and said, "I don't understand doing business, you decide for yourself, I believe in you."
Li Yong said happily: "Don't worry, brother, I'm not as good as you in catching prey, but when it comes to doing business, this is not difficult for me, just wait and see."
At this time, a slave ran over and said, "Master, I found a search of merchant ships in front of me."
Li Yong and Wu San were slightly stunned, and they hurried to the deck to look at the merchant ship.
Wu Sandao: "Yongzi, that seems to be a merchant ship from Chu, right?"
Li Yong confirmed: "That's right, third brother, that's the merchant ship of Chu."
When Wu San saw that the cold weapon was still behind on the merchant ship, he immediately had an idea in his mind. He looked at Li Yong beside him, and he saw the same idea as him in Li Yong's eyes, that is greed.
At this time, Li Yong also looked over. After the two looked at each other, Wu San said, "Do you have any ideas?"
Li Yong was silent for a while and said, "Third brother, don't say anything. I do have ideas, but will something happen if this happens?"
Wu San shook his head and said, "Don't talk about you, I have it, but it can't. We have to develop here. Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests, so they can suppress your thoughts."
Li Yong took a deep breath and said, "I understand, brother, I will listen to you."
The two ships stopped each other as they passed by. Wu San asked with a smile: "Hey, brother, where are you going?"
The people on the Chu merchant ship looked at the strangers curiously and asked, "We are going to return to China. Who are you? Why haven't you seen you before?"
Wu San smiled and said, "Oh, we were fishing in the sea and encountered wind and waves, and we lost our direction. The chart was also lost due to some accidents. Can you give me a chart?"
The Chu caravan said without a doubt: "This is nothing." Then he handed them a chart.
The man gave Wu San a chart and looked at their boat and wondered: "Why don't your fishing boat have fishing nets or something?"
Wu San smiled and said, "There is no way. When encountering wind and waves, most of the fishing equipment fell into the sea. Now there are only some fishing nets and other things left. They can only be taken into the cabin to avoid encountering wind and waves again. Then we will suffer heavy losses on this trip. It is safer to take it out when we go to the location."
Although the man was confused, he didn't ask too much. He said so, and that's it.
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
When he returned to the cabin, Wu San was immediately happy to open the chart. With this chart, their actions were twice the result with half the effort. Li Yong was also very happy and said: "Brother, you have a way, you can easily cheat a chart."
Wu San smiled and said, "Everyone is eating this meal. It is better to have less than more things. If you can give it convenience, they will naturally give it. You didn't see that although there are no weapons like us, are those people strong? They are also doing illegal activities."
Li Yong was slightly stunned and said, "I didn't notice this. What brother meant is that they are not businessmen?"
Wu San replied: "Anyway, I'm not a legitimate businessman. OK, don't think about it. Look at what instructions this picture can give us. If you look south here, there is an island, let's go there."
Li Yong nodded after seeing it, and then Wu San directed the ship to advance towards the island closest to them.
Three days later.
When Li Yong and Wu Sanjiu saw the island, Wu San ordered the docking. After that, more than 100 people got off the boat. Wu San led his people to patrol the island, while Li Yong brought some people to sort out supplies and build a camp.
Soon, Wu San took his men back to the camp.
Li Yong hurried over and said, "How about third brother? Is there anything on this island?"
Wu San said happily: "Yongzi, we did not come in vain this trip. There is a small tribe on this island, and there are about 500 people in the tribe."
Li Yong suddenly became excited and said, "Really, haha, that's great. Third brother, what should we do now? Should we do it now?"
Wu San shook his head and said, "Let your brothers eat first and keep your spirits up. We will do it at night and get rid of the guards first. These natives can basically not escape."
Li Yong did not doubt that he had to eat some dry food, and then let everyone sleep. Although these people were slaves, they had followed Li Yong for many years and knew what they were doing this time. As long as they followed Li Yong and with the laws of Qin, they could become free people as long as they earn enough contribution value. Although they still had to work under Li Yong's hands, Li Yong also had to give them corresponding rewards. Things like arresting slaves were even more of a huge thing for them, because catching the contribution value of the three slaves could help them get rid of their slaves and become free people.
Therefore, this time these people worked very hard and were holding their breath in their hearts.
